How Do I Get Involved?
We require all of our staff and volunteers to be vaccinated against Covid-19. We also require that volunteers agree to the terms, rules, and requirements explained in the Berkeley Food Pantry Volunteer Handbook.
• Our volunteer shifts are on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday and are 2 hours long. The shifts are staggered between 10:00 am and 4:30 pm.
• We also use volunteers to pick up food donations on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays before noon.
To volunteer, please email us at director@berkeleyfoodpantry.org.
We also want to announce our new Volunteer Advisory Committee (Summer 2024), and thank each of them for serving: Marice A., Molly C., Rocio H., Aiden M., Debbie P., and Dianne S.. They met with the staff and Oversight Committee for the first time in August 2024 and will continue to meet together to help improve the Pantry and its operations.
